Commercial & Janitorial · Richmond, VA
Commercial vacuum repair that keeps your crews working
When a vacuum dies mid-contract, you don't have a repair problem — you have a staffing problem. CFI Vacuum keeps janitorial fleets, hotel housekeeping carts, and facility equipment running across Richmond: Sanitaire, Oreck, and Hoover Commercial machines, backpack vacuums, extractors, and HEPA equipment, backed by Sanitaire commercial service training and ISSA & IICRC cleaning-industry credentials.
Fleet Service
Built for businesses that clean for a living
Residential repair asks "is it worth fixing?" Commercial repair asks "how fast, and how do we stop it happening again?" We run both answers on a schedule.
Fast turnaround on wear parts
We deliberately stock the high-wear parts for Sanitaire, Oreck, and Hoover Commercial machines. Belts, rollers, cords, and switches are often same-visit or next-day repairs.
Emergency support
A dead machine mid-contract gets the commercial line: (804) 677-8208. We triage by phone and prioritize getting your crew back to work.
HEPA & hazardous-dust equipment
Vacuums used for lead, silica, mold, and abatement are serviced with the PPE and containment procedures EPA guidance calls for — with Lead-Safe and asbestos awareness training behind the bench.
Carpet extractors & floor care
Pumps, spray paths, recovery tanks, and brush drives on commercial extractors — supported by IICRC carpet and commercial maintenance certifications.
Honest fleet economics
We track what each machine has cost you and say plainly when a unit should be retired instead of repaired — and we sell commercial-grade replacements when that day comes.

Commercial Questions
Commercial repair FAQs
Do you offer maintenance contracts for janitorial companies?
Yes. CFI Vacuum maintains whole vacuum fleets for janitorial companies, property managers, hotels, schools, and offices around Richmond. Fleet clients rotate machines through the shop on a preventive maintenance schedule — belts, brush rolls, motor brushes, cords, and filtration checked before they fail — so cleaning crews are never short of working equipment. Call (804) 262-9683 to set up a schedule that fits your contract load.
What happens when a machine goes down in the middle of a contract?
Call the commercial emergency line at (804) 677-8208. Common commercial repairs — belts, brush rolls, cords, switches — are often same-visit or next-day because we deliberately stock high-wear parts for Sanitaire, Oreck, and Hoover Commercial machines. For bigger jobs we quote a timeline up front, and fleet clients on maintenance schedules typically have rotation machines available.
Can you service HEPA vacuums used for hazardous dust?
Yes, and this is a real differentiator: HEPA vacuums used for lead, silica, mold, asbestos abatement, or restoration work can expose whoever opens them. EPA guidance specifically warns that filter changes and emptying are exposure events. CFI Vacuum technicians carry HEPA and hazardous-dust handling training, EPA RRP Lead-Safe certification, and asbestos awareness training, and these machines are serviced with proper PPE and containment — not opened on a general bench.
Which commercial vacuum brands do you repair?
Sanitaire commercial uprights (with manufacturer service training), Oreck XL and Commercial uprights, Hoover Commercial machines, backpack vacuums, wide-area vacuums, and carpet extractors from Bissell and Hoover commercial lines among others. Supporting credentials include ISSA Cleaning Management Institute certification and IICRC floor-care certifications, so repairs and maintenance schedules are built around how commercial equipment is actually used.
